Government Departments: Budgets

Lord Mendelsohn: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the percentage cost over-run established by the management board for any budget in the Scotland Office to merit
	being tabled at the departmental management board; and how many times in the last 12 months that has occurred.

Lord Wallace of Tankerness: The Scotland Office does not have a cost overrun established by its management board above which it merits a budget being tabled at its management board. No overruns have been reported to the management board in the last 12 months.
